Public Criminal Records

In 2015, there were 1,271 reported major violent crimes (0.003637 per person) and 10,038 reported major property crimes in Anaheim (0.028723 per person). While these reported crime rates are helpful, it is very important to realize that there is a gap between the actual number of crimes committed and the number of reported crimes; many crimes are notoriously underreported.

In addition, some crimes may be charged under different headings. For example, aggravated assaults that are committed against family members may be charged as domestic violence rather than assault. The charts below show more stats on yearly trends for specific crime types in Anaheim.

While the above statistics are helpful in some circumstances, they do not give you information about how Anaheim compares to the rest of California or to the nation in terms of likelihood that you will be the victim of a crime. To make those comparisons, you need to look at the crime rate. The crime rate refers to the number of crimes per a set number of people. In our crime rates, we have chosen to report the crime rate as incidents per 1,000 people. By comparing these rates, you can determine whether a person in Anaheim is at a higher or lower risk of being a victim of a major crime than people in the rest of California or nationwide.
